Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back for the 2025/26 season, and the big question is already causing headaches: Do you splash the cash on Mohamed Salah?

But should FPL managers dive into their budget and build their team around him?

Mo Salah earned 344 points last season.



Moreover, the Egyptian was crowned as the Premier League’s Player of the Season in the 2024/25 season.

With 18 double-digit hauls, Salah was captain material almost every single week.

If he’s not in your squad by Gameweek 1, you might end up chasing points all season.

Salah will cost you a record-breaking £14.5 million — more than any midfielder in FPL history.

That means finding bargains elsewhere — hello, Florian Wirtz at £8.5m or Isak at £10.5m.

Choosing Salah might feel like a bold call.

But then again, not picking him might feel like a red card waiting to happen.
